OK, who is the clown that did this? I’m trawling the bestseller types, seeing if there are any of them worth reading. Kellerman – largely crap. James Lee Burke, risible Wintoning. This is the first Jack Reacharound I have read. Starting off OK, but they all do. Yes you Stieg Larsson. I am a little puzzled though. Isn’t there a Jack Reacher film with Tom Cruise? Reacher describes himself as a big guy 6 feet 5 inches tall. A full three feet taller than Cruise. In any case, this vandalism is how Nazi Germany started.

The Worst of Perth 
yes, there’s a Tom Cruise movie. The worst piece of miscasting since Tom Hanks,Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith in Bonfire of the Vanities.
or Sly Stallone as Dredd
or Nicole Kidman in anything
Peter Bradshaw will tell you how jaded that Reacharound gag is:

and I recommend trying to hunt down Tony Martin’s piece on Lee Child.
It used to be on Scrivener’s Fancy, but that’s been taken down. Has since been re-posted on other sites

I hopefully left the Scriv feed open, but the lazy reacharound hasn’t updated for a year.

The unavailability of that piece on Childs by Tony Martin is quite simple.

It’s here. And yes, Lee Childs. What a knob.

Martin seems too kind to Child , and focused on Child’s language. The actual structure of the novel is probably up to shit , but life is too short to bother finding out.

I’ve nearly finished The Enemy. It’s fine. Not good, not bad. One point I disagree about with Tony. Some of these guys could write Coudstreet. James Lee Burke could outWinton Tim with a cottonmouth up his bayou.

I agree. There are a lot of genre writers – Lehane, Pelecanos, Price, Crumley, Highsmith, Turow – who could easily write a Cloudstreet
the more pertinent questions is: why would they want to?

Fuck off! Highsmith is not genre. She is the poet of claustrophobia.

Pelecanos definitely could. Hard Revolution was so full of 60s soul and R’n’B nostalgia, I almost turned into Otis Redding.

To be fair, Tom Cruise also describes himself as six foot five.
